PART 1: December 14th, 3-5pm

-Choose a different package that another club member has brought.
-Use that ephemera package to make zine pages for the January Collaborative Zine. (If you take a package, please commit to doing Part 2, below.)
PART 2: January 18th, 3-5pm
-Bring 20 copies of your finished zine pages to build a collaborative zine with other members’ pages. See event details*~* below for guidelines.

*~* SUBMISSION GUIDELINES for JANUARY 18th MEETING *~*
-The zine will consist of letter-sized (8.5"x11") printer paper.
Fold the paper in half, and you get four zine pages: front, inside left, inside right, and back.
-Create anything you want on YOUR four pages (using at least 2/3 of the items in your package); please note that due to varying pagination as pages are added and zines are created (stacked and stapled), your four pages may not appear "in order," so make sure each of your four pages can stand alone.
-Make 20 copies, front and back (don't copy the back of it upside down!) to bring to the collaborative zine party. If you need help with printing, including a place to print, email Savannah Ashmore at
U2F2YW5uYWhhc2htb3JlYXJ0IHwgZ21haWwgISBjb20=
-At the event, you will pick up one page from each participant, fold and staple your zine, and take it home--your own published work included!
